Record your own copy, if you can. One of the best modern showcases for this film has been on Turner Classic Movies. They show it semi-frequently, including tonight @ 8pm, in glorious letterboxed widescreen.
shareKudos to them for doing that. I've recorded it onto DVD from TCM's broadcasts.
The last time I had seen it widescreen was in the theater 30-some years ago when I was a kid!
Hear, hear.

^I couldn't agree more!
It took me forever, though, to even find the pan & scan version. What's the problem, I wonder? share
It IS on widescreen, and the print is high quality (I just watched it). It's the version produced by KOCH Vision. According to Amazon (where it is available), it was released in November, 2008.
shareMill Creek Entertainment has released it on DVD in widescreen. It's available as a double feature with the 1959 adaptation of A Dog Of Flanders.

That same double feature disc makes up the first side of the first of 3 flipper discs available in this set from Mill Creek as well, which contains 12 films total.
